Abstract
Gas Pits in Non-marine Sediments
John H. Maxson
ABSTRACT
The generation of the natural gas methane during the decomposition of organic debris is responsible for minor phenomena of sedimentation termed gas pits. Some of these are small circular pits with surrounding mud mounds formed by the escape of gas bubbles from the surface of mud bars. Larger crater-like pits are formed in submerged mud and silt bars as the result of erosion in the vicinity of active gas bubble agitation.
